When someone think about to get high the first thing come in the mind is using drug. But the question is arise there can we get high without using drugs and leaves if is it possible? The research describe the different types and way to get high without using drug.
In this article we discuss all these ways to get high without using drug. There are many studies about that described a different positive way to get high that are drug free.
What is meant to get high?
The term get high refers to the act of consuming drugs. The phrase get high describe the experience of intoxicated, euphoric or altered in perception, mood, or consciousness as a result of using these substances such as alcohol, marijuana (cannabis), nicotine (vapes or smoking), For some, the term conjures up images of a strong mind-altering sensation, psychedelic hallucinations, and a temporary loss of grip on reality. For others, it conjures even more extreme images of people pushing the limits of their psyche so far that they might never quite “return to normal”.
Most commonly, the active compounds in drugs affect the signalling of neurotransmitters like serotonin, adrenaline and noradrenaline, dopamine, glutamate, GABA, and endorphins. This change to neurotransmitter activity can have a wide variety of effects on people, including:
- Changes in mood
- Loss of inhibitions
- Altered perception of time and space
- Impaired speech, memory, and motor skills
- Heightened perceptions
- Increased enjoyment of already pleasurable activities
- Visual or aural hallucinations
- Psychedelic experiences with profound spiritual roots
The drug-free methods of getting high work similarly invoking biological processes that temporarily down or up-regulate the activity of some chemicals in the body, causing sensations comparable to those of being high. As we explore each activity in more detail, we’ll also explain the physiological processes it might affect, and the effects it may induce.
Drug free way to get high
Holotropic breathing
Holotropic breathwork, or HB, is a practice devised by Czech-born, US-based psychiatrist Stanislav Grof. It involves rapid, controlled breathing and music to induce an altered state of consciousness (the holotropic state, which Grof likened to the Hindu concept of Atman-Brahman; the divine, true nature of the self).Grof developed the technique in the 1970s following extensive research into psychedelic therapy (which focused particularly on the effects and therapeutic potential of LSD) after the legal use of LSD became ever-more restricted in the 60s.
They breathing techniques hurt to control the hyperventilation to change the balance of carbon dioxide and oxygen in the body.which Grof and other HB practitioners and participants believe to be extremely beneficial for stress, anxiety, depression, and even PTSD, as well as offering a profound insight into the true self (Mead, 1994).
Running and exercise
Running in exercise trigger the chemical reaction that help to get high it reduced the anxiety and stress, improve mood or europia slightly and reduce pain sensation.For decades, researchers and the general public thought that a spike in endorphins is solely responsible for this phenomenon, but it’s actually likely caused by changes to the endocannabinoid system.
The research is in (and has been for some time); blood samples show that blood-anandamide levels peak after exercise. Anandamide is a cannabinoid produced naturally by the body that binds to CB1 receptors (the same receptors that THC binds to). While it has a much shorter half-life than THC, spikes in blood-anandamide levels can produce effects similar to those of a THC high (though much shorter-lived); euphoria, improved mood, reduced feelings of nervousness, etc. (Bergland, 2021).
Meditation
They are different school of meditation that help to focus on mindfulness and presence, temporary climing the stream of endless, reduce stress and anxiety improve sleep, decrease over thinking anxiety and depression, calm the symptoms of high blood pressure, headache, tachycardia, hyperventilation, and irritable bowel syndrome.
Eating certain food
For experience a natural high and simply ordered coffee and you some natural cocoa. Coffee help to boost alertness and focus our sensation. Chewing dried coca leaves (the leaves used to make cocaine) is common practice in many parts of South America. Like coffee, cocoa is a mild stimulant that can help to reduce nausea, boost metabolism, curb altitude sickness or fatigue, and improve focus. Using hot peppers triggers a rush of endorphins, which can leave you with short-lived euphoria or a mood boost. Chilli peppers also contain capsaicin, which has some pain-killing properties.
Conclusion
There are many techniques to get high without using weed and other drugs because there usage causes different mental and physical disorders. That affected the person negatively too. And also illegal in different countries of the world. There are different types to get high without using drug such as meditation, exercise, running and fasting.
